Cabbie killed by racing Mercedes
By Isabel TEOTONIO,
StaffReporter with files from Nick
PRON,
Henry STANCU,
DaleAnneFREED and David
GROSSMANCab driver Tahir
KHAN had just dropped off his last fare and
was headed south on Mount Pleasant Rd. It was 10: 20 p.m.
Racing north were two Mercedes driven by 18-year-olds, each pushing
140 km/h in a 50 km/h zone, police say. Next to one driver was
the popular video game Need For Speed.
As the Mercedes rounded a bend, the taxi made a left turn on
to Whitehall Rd. A loud crash shattered the still of Tuesday
night.
One of the Mercedes, a silver 1999 model, T-boned the taxi, drilling
it into a utility pole, police say.
KHAN, 46, died instantly, and the driver of the mangled Mercedes
escaped with just a few scratches. The driver of the other car
fled, returning to the scene after ditching his car a few blocks
away, posing as a bystander, police say.
It was a tragic end to
KHAN's life, which was brimming with hope
as he looked forward to becoming a Canadian citizen tomorrow.
It was a day he'd long looked forward to, because it meant he
was one step closer to being reunited with his wife, whom he
hoped to bring over from Pakistan.
The accused are university students -- believed to be studying
at Ryerson and York -- and both had attended St. Andrew's College,
a prestigious private school in Aurora, graduating in June 2004.
One played on St. Andrew's football team, and both were average
students who never got in trouble, said head football coach Courtney
SHRIMPTON.
One of them lives a tony neighbourhood just north
of the Bridle Path. Yesterday, police would not comment on whether
the cars belonged to the teens' parents.
As police yesterday questioned what influence the game may have
played and
KHAN's
Friends grappled with his death, the two accused
made a brief court appearance.
"It's a horrible irony," said Det. Paul
LOBSINGER about the presence
of the video game, which allows players to choose high-end cars
and race them through city streets while being pursued by police
cruisers.
"Some have said this is life imitating art but I don't know,"
said LOBSINGER, adding "a game is a game, but when you get behind
the wheel it's reality."
LOBSINGER described the game as an "ultra-violent driving simulation,
fighting simulation and criminal simulation."
"But are games the cause?" he asked. "Absolutely not. But, it
is rather ironic."
Police say alcohol was not a factor, and that it's not clear
if the video game was played before the two went out driving.
"I have no words to explain why this happened," said cabbie Muhammad
NASEEM, who was a friend of
KHAN's. "He was a very nice man,
very quiet, very polite, all the good words you can think of
can be used to describe him."
Earlier this week, recalled
NASEEM,
KHAN had told him that he
planned to return home to the district of Jhang, in Pakistan's
Punjab region.
KHAN's mother was ill and he wanted to be with
her. He also looked forward to visiting his brother, sister and
wife of 15 years, whom he's helped support since moving to Canada
almost six years ago.
He was looking forward to returning home as a Canadian citizen,
something he would have become during a citizenship ceremony
at the Scarborough Town Centre.
"He was so excited," said
KHAN's friend Munir
AHMAD, while visiting
the coroner's office to identify the body. "He was planning to
bring his family here."
Last night, a large group of Friends gathered at the east-end
apartment KHAN shared with Shahid
HASAN to call his family in
Pakistan and break the devastating news.
"He had lots of Friends," said
HASAN, who has lived with
KHAN
for the last five years in Scarborough. "He was a very kind man
who was helpful to everyone."
Jim BELL, manager of Diamond Taxi, said
KHAN had been with the
company for three years and called his death a tragedy for everyone
involved.
"Those kids must be feeling absolutely terrible and the parents
of these kids who were racing must be feeling devastated."
Charged with criminal negligence causing death are Alexander
RYAZANOV and Wang-Piao Dumani
ROSS.
ROSS is also charged with
failing to stop after an accident causing death.
Outside the courtroom where the two teens made a brief appearance
at bail court in College Park yesterday, the aunt of one described
them as "really good boys."
"It's tragic, it's horrible what happened. Now I am going to
be worried about him staying in jail with criminals."
Because lawyers for the pair weren't available, the two must
return for separate bail hearings --
ROSS tomorrow and
RYAZANOV
on Monday. Neither has a criminal record.
The two long-time Friends chatted quietly to each other as they
sat in the prisoner's box.
The Crown says it will oppose their release on two grounds: public
outrage over the death and the likelihood of reoffending.

PROUDE o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2006-07-04 published
Alex TRIMBLE, Royal Canadian Air Force Officer (1920-2006)
Meticulous worker began his career during the Battle of Britain,
repairing and maintaining the delicate instruments that crowded
the cockpits of his squadron's Hawker Hurricanes
By Buzz BOURDON,
Special to the Globe and Mail, Page S9
Ottawa -- Alex
TRIMBLE climbed out of the cockpit of a Hawker
Hurricane fighter aircraft and wiped his brow. Nearby, a dozen
Hurricanes stretched down the airfield, each of them swarmed
by Royal Canadian Air Force technicians intent on servicing their
aircraft for the next flight.
From the fitters who maintained the engines and the riggers who
repaired the airframes, wings and undercarriage, to the men who
fixed the radios plus the armourers who cleaned and loaded each
aircraft's eight.303-inch machine guns, the technicians knew
the pilots of No. 1 (Fighter) Squadron depended on them.
Mr. TRIMBLE had a vital job of his own. Known for his painstaking
accuracy, he was an instrument maker, responsible for repairing
and maintaining the dozen or so delicate instruments that crowded
each Hurricane cockpit.
Speedometer, tachometer, oil-pressure gauge, air-pressure gauge,
compass -- every instrument had to be in perfect working order
because a pilot's life could depend on it, especially when flying
blind in clouds.
The Royal Canadian Air Force regarded servicing extremely seriously.
"Before a plane can take off, a chart has to be signed by eight
different men, including the five airmen in charge of the main
ground jobs, and the flight sergeant," said a newspaper story
entitled Ground Men Playing Vital Roles In War. "As a result,
accidents from mechanical faults seldom occur and when a pilot
sets out on a sweep across northern France he can be reasonably
certain that if he doesn't get in the way of enemy guns he'll
come safely back to his base."
Despite a lack of formal recognition -- ground crew weren't entitled
to a campaign star, like the Aircrew Europe Star awarded after
the war to aircrew -- Mr.
TRIMBLE enjoyed his job. He knew his
pilots as human beings, since he strapped them into their cockpits
and wished them good hunting before taking off. Scanning the
sky anxiously, Mr.
TRIMBLE was there for them when they returned,
physically and emotionally drained after combat.
A key member of the only Royal Canadian Air Force squadron to
participate in the epic Battle of Britain, fought from July 10 to
October 31, 1940, Mr.
TRIMBLE watched history being made in the
skies over Britain that hot summer of perfect weather as the
German Luftwaffe tried to destroy the Royal Air Force as a prelude
to invasion. Over all, 105 Canadian pilots flew in the Battle
of Britain, 77 with the Royal Air Force and 28 with No. 1 Squadron.
Organized in 1937 at Royal Canadian Air Force Station Trenton,
Ontario, No. 1 Squadron and its Hurricanes were mobilized on
September 10, 1939, the day Canada declared war against Germany.
In May, 1940, No. 1 absorbed No. 115 (Fighter) Squadron and moved
to Britain.
On August 26, No. 1 Squadron engaged the Luftwaffe for the first
time when 10 Hurricanes scrambled against a force of 25 to 30 bombers.
Flight Lieutenant G.R.
McGREGOR destroyed a Dornier Do. 215 and
Flying Officer T.B.
LITTLE was awarded a bomber probably destroyed.
Flying Officer R.L.
EDWARDS was killed.
It had been quite a day for Squadron Leader Ernie
McNAB and his
pilots. His unit was the first Royal Canadian Air Force squadron
to score victories, suffer combat casualties and win gallantry
awards. On March 1, 1941, No. 1 was renumbered as 401 Squadron
after the Royal Canadian Air Force was awarded the 400-block
series of numbers.
For Mr. TRIMBLE and his comrades, life during the Battle of Britain
was hectic. Described as unsung heroes for their dedication,
ground crew worked long hours -- often starting before dawn and
finishing after midnight -- but the bright lights of London also
beckoned, with its "tonight we live for tomorrow we may die"
atmosphere.
In 1941, Mr.
TRIMBLE was at a party when he spied a pretty girl.
Sparks ignited and he asked Isobel
KIRKPATRICK to dance. That
was the beginning of a whirlwind romance that ended in marriage
a year later, on March 17, 1941.
"It must have been the uniform. We danced, we dated, he got posted
then came back. It was war time and we didn't know what tomorrow
would bring," said Mrs.
TRIMBLE. "It was love at first sight.
He was a handsome lad, had a great sense of humour, a wonderful
personality."
Alex TRIMBLE joined the Royal Canadian Air Force the day after
Canada declared war on Nazi Germany on September 10, 1939. After
training in Ottawa, he was sent to No. 115 (Fighter) Squadron.
On August 25, 1941, he was posted to the newly formed 408 Squadron.
A month later, he was promoted to sergeant, just 24 months after
first enlisting. Mr.
TRIMBLE spent the next two years in charge
of 408's instrument section. Formed as the second Royal Canadian
Air Force bomber squadron overseas, 408 attacked targets all
over Europe with its Hampden and Halifax bombers.
After the war, Mr.
TRIMBLE remained in the Royal Canadian Air
Force. He served from 1948 to 1956 with 412 (Transport) Squadron,
based at Royal Canadian Air Force Station Uplands, in Ottawa,
in command of the instrument and electrical sections. Then, as
now, 412 is known as the "V.I.P. squadron," flying prime ministers,
governors-general and the royal family. It was the golden era
of the Royal Canadian Air Force, which soon reached 52,000 men
and women and 2,000 aircraft.
In 1956, Mr.
TRIMBLE became an officer, specializing in aeronautical
engineering. He and his family spent three years in France before
going to air force headquarters in 1959. He retired in 1968 as
a captain and bought a 100-acre farm in Lanark County, Ontario,
in 1973.
Gail PROUDE of Ottawa remembers family life with her father during
the 1950s with affection. "He went to work every day and every
night the family sat down for supper together. Afterwards, Ann
and I did the dishes and Mom and Dad would retire to the living
room and read the paper. Families established their parameters
and kids followed the rules, for the most part. It was a secure
time."
Known as an organized, meticulous man, Mr.
TRIMBLE loved repairing
clocks and watches. "[It] became his hobby when we kids were
all very young. He used to tell us that whatever money he made&hellip
he used it to put gas in the car," said Mrs.
PROUDE. He continued
his repair work for a jewellery store in Perth, Ontario, until
Alexander George
TRIMBLE was born on September 3, 1920, in Ottawa.
He died of heart disease on April 11, in Perth, Ontario He was
85. He is survived by his wife, Isobel, his son Gordon, his daughters
Gail and Ann, six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Ike HILDEBRAND,
Athlete (1927-2006)
Pint-sized competitor may have been a world champion in hockey,
but he happened to be an even better box lacrosse player
By Tom HAWTHORN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S9
Victoria -- Ike
HILDEBRAND led a hockey team from small-town
Ontario to the world championship tournament in 1959. A small,
baby-faced athlete, he was a sparkplug on the ice and a general
on the bench.
His greatest moment occurred as playing coach of the Belleville
McFarlands. The Macs faced a gruelling schedule of exhibition
matches across Europe before arriving in Czechoslovakia for the
round-robin tournament in March of 1959.
A senior club team, the Canadians wore a maple leaf on the chest
of their sweaters. They were defending on Canada's behalf the
world title, won the previous winter by the Whitby Dunlops. Few
hockey fans back home appreciated the difficulty of the task.
The Czechs were no longer patsies, the Soviets were on the cusp
of becoming the dominant force in hockey, and the Americans would
show their skill by winning the Olympic tournament the next year.
Anything but a championship for the Macs would have been regarded
as failure.
The Canadians opened by defeating Poland 9-0, then shut out Finland
6-0 in a chippy game in which Mr.
HILDEBRAND suffered a facial
cut.
The next game featured the undefeated Soviet Union, seen as the
only likely challengers. The Macs gained a 2-0 lead before Mr.
HILDEBRAND
scored what would be an insurance goal in Canada's 3-1 victory.
The Macs mobbed their goaltender and celebrated for 10 minutes
before the end-of-game ceremonies could begin. "They acted as
if they had already won the title," the New York Times reported.
The Macs then defeated Sweden 5-0, before knocking off the United
States 4-1. Mr.
HILDEBRAND, one of five Macs with National Hockey
League experience, scored in each of the games.
The only way the Macs could lose the title would be to lose to
the hometown Czechs by a large margin. After exchanging gifts
of Canadian cheese and Czech chocolate on the ice at Prague,
the local side came out roaring, gaining a 2-0 lead in the first
period. With the score 4-3 for the home side, the Canadian playing
coach ordered his goalie off the ice in favour of an extra attacker.
The move backfired. The Czechs won the game, 5-3, but Canada
claimed the championship.
Surrounded by teammates on the ice, Mr.
HILDEBRAND hoisted a
trophy in the air while still wearing hockey gloves.
Back home, the accolades were restrained. The Toronto Star's
story was headlined: Macs are champs, but… folks will recall
loss to Czechs.
"We were meeting a club that was fresh," the coach explained
to the paper's readers. "I still think we should have beaten
Czechoslovakia, but I cannot begrudge the Czechs this win. They
played well. We did not play a good game.
"It could be that the grind is beginning to catch up with us.
In the last 20 weeks the McFarlands have played roughly 85 games
and have barnstormed through Europe."
He spent another season with the Macs before being fired, an
ignominious end to a solid career at a sport that was not even
his best. For Mr.
HILDEBRAND, a world champion in hockey, was
perhaps the best box lacrosse player of his day.
Isaac Bruce
HILDEBRAND was born in Winnipeg and raised near Grande
Prairie, Alberta. He had never heard of lacrosse until he was
14 and his family moved to New Westminster, British Columbia,
then, as now, a hotbed for the sport.
In 1943, the city's Salmonbellies won the Mann Cup as national
champions with 16-year-old Ike on the roster. The 'Bellies again
qualified for the Mann Cup playoff the next season.
Although they lost to the St. Catharines Athletics of Ontario,
the teenaged phenomenon from New Westminster won the Mike Kelly
Award as the most valuable player in the series. He remains the
youngest person to have won the award.
The same teams met again in the 1946 Mann Cup, by which time
the slick, 5-foot-7, 147-pound attacker found himself a target.
"Little Ike
HILDEBRAND, leading scorer in western competition,
looked like a midget on the big [Maple Leaf] Gardens floor and
he found the going rough and nasty," the Globe and Mail's Jim
VIPOND reported in 1946. The Athletics again won the cup.
Mr. HILDEBRAND would score more than 900 goals and 700 assists
in his lacrosse career, which saw him play in five Mann Cup series.
He was named to league all-star teams 13 times in 15 seasons.
He won scoring titles in 1946, 1948, 1954 and 1955, the last
two coming while playing for the Peterborough Timbermen.
A talent in both of Canada's national sports, he played hockey
in winter and lacrosse in summer.
He had two successful seasons with hockey's Oshawa Generals and
another with the Toronto Marlboroughs, before being invited to
training camp for the National Hockey League's Maple Leafs at
Owen Sound. He practised during the day and then flew to Peterborough
to play in the Mann Cup. The Leafs owner wanted the budding star
to sign.
"Major Conn
SMYTHE called me into his office and here's the deal
he offered me -- $1,000 up front, $3,000 a year if I played in
the minors at Tulsa, $4,000 if I went to Pittsburgh, and $5,000
if the Leafs kept me," Mr.
HILDEBRAND once told Toronto Star
columnist Jim
PROUDFOOT. "I told him I'd have to talk it over
with my mom and dad."
Instead, he telephoned Charlie
CONACHER, the retired National
Hockey League star who had been his coach at Oshawa. His advise
was to ask for $1,000 on top of each of those figures. When Mr.
HILDEBRAND
did so, suggesting the higher salary came as parental advice,
Mr. SMYTHE became furious. "You little so-and-so, have you been
talking to
CONACHER?"
Mr. HILDEBRAND wound up playing for the Los Angeles Monarchs
and would spend five high-scoring seasons in the minors, all
the while studying to become a structural engineer for a career
he would later follow.
In 1954, he finally broke into the National Hockey League when
the New York Rangers put him on a line with Don (Bones) Raleigh
and Nick Mickoski, a fellow Winnipegger. He scored two goals
and added three assists in his first five games.
Despite the terrific early success, Rangers coach Frank Boucher
juggled lines, placing Mr.
HILDEBRAND with rookie winger Billy
Dea and centre Max Bentley. The goals stopped coming and the
Rangers sold him to the minor-league Vancouver Canucks before
being flipped to the National Hockey League's Chicago Black Hawks.
He soon rediscovered his scoring touch, but his season came to
a sudden end after he broke a leg in a game in Toronto in February
of 1954. He wound up with just seven goals and 11 assists in
a 41-game National Hockey League career.
As a coach, he had success behind the bench at both lacrosse
and hockey, as he handled junior and senior Ontario teams in
Pembroke and Orillia. He led Belleville to an upset Allan Cup
championship over the Kelowna Packers in 1958, earning nomination
as Canada's representative to the world championship the next
March.
In 1985, he was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in
Toronto. He had earlier been enshrined in the Canadian Lacrosse
Hall of Fame at New Westminster and the sports halls of fame
in the Ontario cities of Peterborough, Belleville and Oshawa.
Even so, being a small man in a roughneck sport like lacrosse
was not the most dangerous job Mr.
HILDEBRAND ever held. As a
young man in New Westminster, he painted bridges along the wind-swept
Pacific Coast.
Ike HILDEBRAND was born on May 27, 1927, in Winnipeg. He died
on August 27 in St. Albert, Alberta. He was 79. He leaves his
wife Barbara, two sons, three daughters, four grandchildren,
a sister and a brother.

PROUDFOOT,
MichaelJohn
(March 27, 1967-December 17, 2006)
In Edmonton, from complications following an unsuccessful heart
transplant, Michael, beloved husband of Joan and dearly loved
father of Madeline and Spencer, ended his lengthy and uncomplaining
battle with his failing heart. Michael also leaves to mourn parents
Sandra and John, brother Clifford (Karen), nephews Alec and Bruce
parents-in-law Douglas and June
HANTON, brothers-in-law David
(Nicky) children David and Euan; Timothy (Donna) children Tynan,
Callum and Rhonan; Magnus (Daralee) daughter Ailsa; Dhugal (fiancée
Leslie); many aunts, uncles and cousins. Born in Winnipeg, Michael
attended Montrose, River Heights and Kelvin Schools, where he
established himself as a musician, actor and singer. Following
graduation from the University of Manitoba with a B.Comm. (Hon),
B.Mus (voice), and B.Ed. (Elem. and Choral), he began a career
in teaching and developing wonderful skills in choral leadership.
As well, he performed with the Winnipeg Singers for several years
and appeared with Canzona, and was a church soloist for over
10 years. He also performed with Rainbow Stage, the U of M Opera
Workshop, The University Singers and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's
Hymn Sing. His teaching career included five years in Saint_James
Assiniboia School Division, and latterly Elementary Music Specialist
at Saint_John's Ravenscourt School. He was particularly proud of
the choirs he led in the Pembina Trails School Division. Michael
was a devoted family man who worked with Joan to surround Madeline
and Spencer with love and a wide variety of activities. They
enjoyed travel and introduced the children to cultural, athletic
and musical events and opportunities. All the family reflect
the same joie de vivre, and Michael's life was full of laughter.
His attention to detail for parties, invitations and decorations
was legendary. On top of this he was an adventurous gourmet cook
always trying new creations on his delighted Friends. Michael
enjoyed a close and deep relationship with his parents, who raised
him to believe he could do anything he set his mind to. This
approach showed throughout his professional and personal life.
His connection with the family cottage at Falcon Lake was also
important, and he loved his time there. Only a few months ago
he captained his own boat and worked to get Madeline up on water
skis. He never gave in to increasing problems with heart function.
Even these specific details do not capture the essence of Michael's
engaging personality and exceptional ability to draw beautiful
music from young singers. His sense of humour and mischief might
not always have been appreciated by his teachers, but it added
a delightful element to his choral style. His boys and young
men's choirs especially rose to great heights under his leadership.
He had the ability to motivate, educate and inspire in a way
that brought out the best in his students. Michael approached
life with flair and energy, using his many talents with enduring
panache and laughter. With his wife Joan, he would light up a
room, liven any party, enhance a kitchen, and carry it all off
with apparent ease. For the last seven years, Michael fought
with a rare and ultimately relentless heart disease. Few people
knew of this, and he faced every day with the possibility of
lacking the physical energy to continue. When he was finally
placed on the waiting list for a new heart it was with the hope
that this would renew his life and be the ultimate Christmas
gift. Sadly, the procedure, for complex reasons, did not offer
this, and his life ended peacefully in Edmonton's University
of Alberta Hospital. Michael's legacy includes a remarkably wide
circle of Friends who will always cherish his sometimes acerbic
wit, his warmth and exuberance. As well, there are hundreds of
young people who have been exposed to the joy of choral singing,
and this gift from Michael will resonate on through the generations.
In time, his young children will know that their father was a
special man who gave much to the world in his too short life.
It is a remarkable gift to share music, and both Michael and
Joan have filled their lives proving that statement. He will
be missed, but we will all sing on. A memorial service will be
held at Westminster United Church, N.W. Maryland at Westminster,
at 1: 00 p.m. Thursday December 21, 2006. In lieu of flowers,
donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. 'When
words fail, music speaks.' - Hans Christian Anderson

STAVRO embodied local sports
Leafs ex-owner, 78, dreamed, lived big
'Honest Grocer' dies of heart attack
By Dave PERKINS,
SportsColumnistWhen it came to sports, Steve
STAVRO possessed a keen sense of
anticipation and optimism. It's a trait common to those involved
in horse racing; some say it keeps them young. There's always
another crop of 2-year-olds with promise coming, always a barn
full of 3-year-olds that might be good enough to make a man dream
the big dreams.
STAVRO was better known -- regrettably famous and almost infamous
for owning the Maple Leafs for a contentious decade or so
and he and the fans in this city dreamed the big dreams there,
too. They went unmet on his watch, although that certainly didn't
make him unique.
Many aspects of his life did, though, a life that ended Sunday,
at age 78, from a heart attack, at his large and imposing home
above the 18th fairway at Rosedale Golf Club.
STAVRO was a guy who grew up the hard way. Worked hard. Got up
early in the morning and kept his hands on his businesses. Understood
and appreciated the handshake and the back-room deal. Had a reverence
for, if not a fixation on, Alexander The Great, as some Macedonian-born
persons did (and do). For all the in-person joking you could
do with the guy referred to here as the Honest Grocer, his angriest
reaction, in our dealings, came when asked if he'd seen the story
that historians had uncovered evidence suggesting Alexander The
Great was a little light in the sandals. The Grocer definitely
didn't want to go there.
Now, he'll spend eternity beneath an image of his hero; his recently
finished grave monument in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, one he was
proudly describing to Friends at a breakfast just this past Saturday
morning, has a 22-foot-tall statue of Alexander The Great on
horseback atop the mausoleum. There are Maple Leafs, Raptors,
Air Canada Centre, horse racing and soccer motifs, as well as
four guardian lions and they definitely aren't girl lions. He
has the bases covered.
STAVRO was a people person all the way, knew the names of the
guys who unloaded the trucks and stocked the shelves. He also
had Pavarotti over to his house one night after a concert at
Maple Leaf Gardens to meet and even sing a song or two for 100 swells
at $1,000 a plate -- this was when $1,000 was a lot of money
with all the money going to Villa Columbo. So he knew which
fork to use, like he knew his way around the Turf Club at Woodbine,
although his heart, with its humble beginnings, was on the backstretch.
When it came to sports, he was an owner in the old-fashioned
sense of the word, which means he was different from the mere
investors and money lenders who, 3½ years ago, squeezed him out
of the corporate picture that now has become Maple Leaf Sports
and Entertainment.
He thought players made too much money -- he was and is not alone
in this regard -- and rejected the chance to add Wayne Gretzky
late in his career as being too expensive. He fought against
other big-money contracts, too, one of the reasons he was chased
out. He was old-fashioned in other ways, gruff and profane being
two of them. He didn't know how to begin to deal with the Maple
Leaf Gardens pedophilia scandal, a messy affair he inherited,
along with the hockey team, and his regime's insensitive behaviour
was itself scandalous to many.
He feuded with his cousins, the Bitoves, who owned the basketball
team at the time. Again, that did not make him unique.
STAVRO liked money, surely, and resisted overspending whenever
possible. The means by which he took control of the Maple Leafs
came into serious question. He acted as buyer and seller as executor
of Harold BALLARD's estate and when the charities to which
BALLARD
left the team, led by a few sharp stockholders, protested the
short price involved, the securities people saw their side of
things. STAVRO needed to come up with something like $51 million
to make the pot square and thereafter became financially vulnerable
to the takeover that ultimately came in 2003.
This short-changing of the charities was at odds with his track
record for writing cheques for good causes. He did plenty of
that; every year, when this space collected cash for kids at
Christmas in the name of Jim
PROUDFOOT, a letter and a $1,000
cheque arrived from the Steve and Sally Stavro Foundation. He
was, others would testify, an easy mark for the right reasons.
There were other questions, though. His Knob Hills Farms, a vast
grocery empire he built through hard work and handshakes, couldn't
keep pace with modern retail practices and went under, yet he
ended up controlling a prime chunk of city-owned waterfront land
under curious circumstances. It was the land where the athlete's
village would have been had Toronto won the 2008 Olympics. He'd
have made a fortune.
Because he had been such a noticeable part of the Toronto sporting
scene for a few decades -- his presence not unlike that, in a
different realm, of a Johnny Lombardi -- he remained a fixture
at the racetrack and the dinners where the sporting crowd gathers,
even after his Maple Leaf proprietorship was over.
Our last conversation, at last November's Canadian Sports Hall
of Fame induction dinner, started about his thoroughbreds. We
discussed a 3-year-old of his that had looked, but not run, the
part last year and he was bubbling about his 2-year-olds (now
3-year-olds) and their futures. He also wondered how the people
who run Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment could sleep at night,
having abandoned Saint_John's, Newfoundland., with their top farm
club.
"Nicest people in the world, those people in Newfoundland, and
we had a good deal with them. Now we're just (bleeping) them,"
he said and he meant it. He said he was ashamed of Maple Leaf
Sports and Entertainment. This put him ahead of the curve again.
He also didn't understand what Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment
was thinking by trying pro soccer again, because
STAVRO was nothing
if not persistent when it came to soccer. He often put his own
money -- not taxpayers' -- where his heart was, bankrolling several
stabs at making pro soccer work in this town, from the Continental
Soccer League to the International Soccer League, the Eastern
Canada Professional Soccer League, the United Soccer Association
and the North American Soccer League. Soccer responded, at least
by naming him to its Canadian hall of fame last year as a builder.
He had his enemies -- who doesn't? -- but he made himself a lot
of Friends in soccer, horse racing, junior hockey, around the
Leafs. One of a kind? No question. No one else like him in this
town.

CAVERSON,

In Loving Memory of Jacqueline Vitaline
CAVERSON (née
GAGNON,)
83 years. Jackie passed away Monday evening, February 27th, 2006
at the Sudbury Regional Hospital-Laurentian Site, surrounded
by her children. She had a wonderful life and has touched so
many of us with her love. She had amazing faith and the gift
of making everyone feel special. Born August 1922 to Vitaline
and Hormidas
GAGNON in Sudbury, Jackie moved to Coniston when
she married the love of her life, Tiberio (recently deceased
December 24th, 2005). They had a long and wonderful marriage,
celebrating their 60th Anniversary in August 2005. Their marriage
blessed them with a special bond that never failed them and is
an example to all of us of unconditional love. Jackie planted
deep roots in Coniston and in healthier times, was an active
member of St. Paul the Apostle Church, the Catholic Women's League
and the Ladies Auxiliary of the Club Allegri. So many wonderful
and lasting Friendships were formed through her life's great
journey. It was with great love that Jackie watched her family
grow. She was a devoted and caring mother to Gary (wife Jackie)
of Coniston, Suzette (husband Frank
ANGELETTI) of London and
Gerard (wife Julie) of Port Credit. Jackie was a gracious, gentle
and proud Noni to her grandchildren Jennifer, Laurie, Kyle, Cory,
Christopher and Daniella and to her great-grandchildren Brandon
and Kaleb. Jackie has played so many important roles throughout
her full and happy life: daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend
and eternal source of optimism. For most, Jackie will be remembered
for her deep faith, positive attitude, good heart, engaging personality,
quick smile and passion for life. Above all, Jackie will be remembered
for her belief in God and for her love and dedication to her
husband and family. And in return, she has been our strength,
light and inspiration. She will be deeply missed. Jackie was
a dear sister to Jeannette (husband M.J.
